I had a look through some old photographs and noticed three identical class photographs which, with the help of the St Vincent website I was able to confirm. We've kept one of them, and this afternoon I put one of the others on E-Bay, so hopefully thanks to Genes Reunited somebody else will be able to own a family artefact. If your ancestor was based there it may be worth checking out.
